Ive been wanting to use the whole spice blends I recently purchased
from Spice Trekkers
https://spicetrekkers.com/shop/spice-blends
I enjoy Curry flavors , and have been using curry pastes for a long long time. thought Id try these.
Initially I though : how would I make the ' substance ' of the curry ( the sauce , if you will )
but ended up not needn't anything other than a blend . lightly toasted , and ground :
picked the middle one , and toasted an aliquot :
I have a very old ' Emeril ' 8 " pan , that came as sale into to a line at BB&B long ago . it's a crappy pan .
but I kept it to heat my drip pot . now I use it to toast spices , watching carefully as not to burn.
Picked up a Yoder smoked turkey breast last weekend ,
very moist , pleasant smoke .
trimmed w ground fresh spice mix :
make a pot of rice in the fuzzy , in this case brown jasmine , as TJ's no longer carries brown basmati .
white rice of your choice would also be might fine .
on top of the cooked rice .
with added mix-ins : red and green onion :
plated on gently micro'd spinach , w dried cranberries and cherries , and chopped walnuts :
I was wondering how I would make the ' sauce ' for these spice blends
it turns out , in this case, the sauce was not needed
The aroma from this blend , carefully toasted , and ground was
Phenomenal
Im very much looking forward to trying the rest
the Spice Trekkers casn are not inexpensive , but Id say well worth it , allowing you to easily
toast a portion ' to order ' and , they don't need to be cooked in a sauce to enjoy their flavor.
